That's hard to know on a statistical basis since 88% of True Love Waits signers have premarital sex anyway.
I used to go to conservative churches that teach that abstinence crap, and I learned that the leaders of these churches actually crack jokes about 30 and 40 year-old virgins behind their backs. Now I just send my Christian friends to the site below which debunks the whole thing against premarital sex in the Bible. It covers same-sex lifestyles too. I hope it helps you.

Immaculate thought is with the help of no potential the comparable as standard thought. On a classic and non-supernatural technique Abstinence is a hundred% fool evidence. in straight forward terms via Divine intervention which overlaps the regulations of the actual international can a virgin conceive a toddler. I particular wish that question grew to become right into a comedian tale...

Actually artificial inseminantion qualifies you as a virgin in the eyes of many, so abstinence can have an efectiveness of 0%.

Since there have been over twenty billion humans on this Earth, and that's the only "known" case, I'd say it's a little more effective than that.

Your argument is extremely weak. What happened in Mary's case was supernatural. We can control what we do. It is because of sexual immorality that we have diseases like HIV that threaten mankind. HIV can be transmitted by other means than sexual contact. Anytime someone gets injured, and is bleeding they have the potential to transmit the disease to medical personel or police officers. Its not a joking matter.

Yeah, but when you factor in the teenagers that will actually listen to the control freaks who want them to sustain from sex, the number falls down to below the 50% mark, at the very elast.

Virgin in the Latin/English version formally declared to be dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950. Virgin is a modern term and not what was originally written in Aramaic. She originally was referred to as "a young girl, never having born a child".

HeeHee. Now go do a survey of how many teens follow 'Abstinence only'. And start with Bristol Palin whose mother preaches it.

Abstinence may be effective but preaching it to a bunch of teenage hormones is ineffective. Let the kids have he pill.
